Hey I really don't mind the "176 lines of remnants from previous=20 messages" so much. In fact, I really like it since it helps refresh=20 my memory about what was last posted on the subject. But my memory=20 isn't so far gone that I can't follow a quippy one-liner on a topic=20 I've been following, and I'm (usually) not so lazy as to not bother=20 reading up on a topic in which I might post. As for the signatures,=20 it's always nice to see who says what. What really gets my goat is=20 other people making up arbitrary rules about what an ideal post looks=20 like.=20=20 ---------- D. Yates piclist@nerdulator.net -------- Original Message -------- This is getting rediculous again. Your message contained 1 line of=20 new content and 176 lines of remnants from at least 7 previous=20 messages, including numerous irrelevant "signatures" and 21 lines of=20 completely content free old footers. -->> Perl CGI scripts add WEB ACCESS to your email! -->> FREE 30 day trial!
